It&#8217;s good for the baby&#8217;s brain, they said. Well, not only is it not good for the baby&#8217;s brain, but the study below shows that PUFA also negatively affects motor skills, and indices of liver and cardiovascular health. Thus, even pregnant women who are health-conscious and suspicious of taking pharma drugs during pregnancy are likely to still harm their child given the ubiquity of PUFA in the Western food supply, based on nothing but a <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/S0021-9258(20)78929-5\">single, never-replicated study from the 1930s<\/a> that purportedly established the dogma that PUFA are &#8220;essential&#8221; to life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/0929867331666230706161144\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/0929867331666230706161144<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;Results: An <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>elevated intake of<span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\"> n-6 PUFA<\/span>, specifically LA, during pregnancy <span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">[negatively] influences children&#8217;s motor, cognitive, and verbal development<\/span> during infancy and early childhood<\/strong><\/span>.
